Low carb + ketosis
Just a few questions - Once you have used all your glycogen stores then the body should turn to fat right? But wouldn't it use the fat you eat first? So should I be low fat as well as low carb so that I will use my stores of fat? I have heard that low carb and low fat is not good and that caarbs should be replaced with…

eat more to lose?
I do understand what is being said about this but i can't grasp the fact that people lose weight when they are on vlcd and have gastric surgery. these people eat around 700-800cals a day and yet lose weight. I have a freind who did a vlcd on 800 per day and she lost loads of weight. she now eats sensibly and has not put it…

calories and weight loss
I have been reading a lot about the starvation mode myth. Anyway I agree that if calories are restricted after a while your BMR will adjust to the amount of cals eaten, however when I put in my stats at MFP it actually says I should be eating 1200 a day, now surley after a few months to keep losing weight I would have to…
